§ SIR THOMAS LLOYDsaid, he wished to ask the Vice President of the Council, Whether his attention has been called to the Report of the Registrar General on the defective sanitary condition of Wales; and whether he is prepared to take any steps to remedy the serious evils complained of?
MR. CORRY, in reply, said, his attention had been called to the Report in question, and during the course of last year medical officers of the Privy Council were sent down from time to time to various localities, on the outbreak of epidemic disease, for the purpose of giving advice to the local authorities, with whom it rested to initiate sanitary improvements. In default of their doing so, the inhabitants of a place might complain to the Government, which would institute inquiries on the subject.
